Nopal Cactus Juice

The nopal cactus is one of the most popular emerging health supplements for many different reasons, but before you learn about the benefits that the Nopal cactus provides it will help if you have some idea about what the cactus is.  The Nopal cactus is a variety of the prickly pear cactus that is native to Mexico.  The plant is a part of the Opuntia genus that includes many different species of edible cacti.  The main use for the plant is its use in Mexican cuisine.  To prepare the plant the pads, or leaves, are cleaned and the spines are removed.  The plant is then cooked or served raw.  The pads are usually purple or green in color and are about the same size as a hand.  The cactus is generally sold fresh but recently bottled and canned versions have become available for export.  Nopal Cactus Juice has become one of the superfoods of our age and has a lot of health benefits attached to it. 

The Nopal cactus has recently become extremely popular as a health supplement for the many vitamins, minerals and other benefits that it can provide the human body.  The pads are rich in both insoluble and soluble dietary fiber.  They are also a great source of vitamins including
vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, riboflavin and vitamin B6.  It is also a great source of many different minerals including magnesium, manganese, iron, and potassium.  The nopalea fruit s also a good source of pectin, which is a soluble fiber, that is known to reduce Low Density Lipoproteins (or LDL cholesterol).  Several studies have also shown that the nopal fruit can decrease the blood sugar levels in people who ingest it.  The nopal cactus is also rich in antioxidant rich betalains. 

Betalains are a class of pigment that is found in flowers, fruits, leaves, stems and roots.  These pigments are rich in antioxidants and have been touted as an anti-cancer supplement.  The betalains from the prickly pear have showed some of the most considerable free radical scavenger and antioxidant
properties
